Solid, crushproof custom fit and cheap. Better than foam sheeting, packing peanuts or even bubble wrap.

Obi,One of the amps I got off ebay was packed that way (usung 'great stuff') except he had enclosed the whole thing inside a solid block of it; I had to cut it out! great idea though

Rich, the proper way to do it in that case is 1 sheet of plastic at the bottom and sides of the box, Great Stuff, another sheet of plastic that ou rest the amp on by squishing it in a bit, another sheet of plastic on top of the amp, more great stuff and finally one last sheet of plastic. That way you get a custom fitted box with 2 reusable packing foams.
